SANTO DOMINGO.- The Center for International Commerce of the United Nations (ITC) and the Export & Investment Center of the Dominican Republic (CEI-RD) held the first “Regional Meeting for Coordinators of Commercial Representation in Foreign Countries”.

The event that concluded on November 12th, was addressed to countries in Central America and the Caribbean, in areas about commercial relations between the different countries that make up the ITC.
According to the Director of the CEI-RD, Eddy Martinez Manzueta, this event has been an excellent opportunity so that these countries reach agreements that seek to stimulate possible investments through his representatives in foreign commerce.
